Project Sizes and Requirements

REdfern train station September 2014

The bike rack pole is 15cm around and the length required is 1.8 metres long. Please make the base less than 15cm so it stretches out to 15cm. It should stretch firmly, but not too tightly. If it is too big it will not fit properly and have to be folded over to be sewn. Likewise if it is too small it may not fit at all or it may have to be stretched too much making it almost impossible to sew onto the pole.

Redfern cycleway from april 2015

Size:

Stretch out to 19cm wide. eg. make it smaller so you can stretch it out to 19cm wide. It should stretch firmly, but not too tightly. If it is too big it will not fit properly and have to be folded over to be sewn. Likewise if it is too small it may not fit at all or it may have to be stretched too much making it almost impossible to sew onto the pole.

Length 1.5 metres.

Acrylic yarn only!

Please avoid FLURO yarn because it fades very quickly and looks awful! I also do not use fluffy, eyelash or other delicate yarns because they break easily and get caught on bikes, etc and rip.

Please post to 27/146 Pitt Street, Redfern, NSW, 2016Ideas2 blocks of yarnbombs along the Cycleway. I have made 8 I think. Sharon Kane has made one and now I am formally inviting you to add your own (via my needle and thread if need be) to the Cycleway!

We shall start with George Street, Redfern between Cleveland and Phillip Streets.

You can make it as bright or funky or fun as you like. You can make it for someone or about something. I have a disco yarnbomb with mirrors and a Fibromyalgia awareness one too.

How about one for the Fire station? With flames? Karen Stephen is doing this.

Or one near the frangipani tree? With white and yellow flowers...

Or the coffee shop? With coffee or tea...

Or a rainbow stripe near the gay night club? Deni Glass is doing this.

Or pizza circles near Dominos pizza?

Remember there are all sorts of people of all kinds of backgrounds, but everyone loves colour.
